Keep in mind, this isn't a Nintendo is doomed article, just an honest opinion of the current landscape.

"When it comes to the Wii U, I’ve been pretty darn quiet. In case the title above didn’t make it obvious, I’m not one of the millions of Wii U owners. Just this morning I was planning to put some cash aside to buy one in the next couple of months, but the day continued, and I changed my mind. Shortly after the announcement of Rayman Legends getting pushed back, something clicked; right now, there really isn’t much about the Wii U that gets me excited."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."
I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.
nintendo needs their bangers early on
With the server shutdown for Nintendo Wii U and 3DS, TSA say goodbye to the small communities and remember the times spent online with these consoles.
Thanks to the modding scene... people can still take their 3ds/WiiU online.

Just like every single other console launch, there's always that dry spell that happens some months after launch. Don't worry, it'll pick up, just like the 3DS and PS3 did. I know I'll be picking up one later this year, same with the Vita.
Everything's going awry, and it doesn't seem like it'll be getting better until the later half of the year.
Yeah, I'm a die-hard Nintendo fan, and it's too dry for me to buy one yet. I'll probably get one next month sometime.
I want to play ME3 again.
I've been wanting to play Darksiders 2.
ZombiU sounds like it's getting a patch.
You really should always wait a few months before purchasing a new product. There's always going to be a few kinks and bugs to work through when releasing hardware.
Who wants to download/update for 2 hours right when you turn on your system?...
... you know who you are!
If i can AFFORD a wiiU i should still not buy a wiiU guys
Yeah, now is not a time to buy a Wii U. I would say March is a good time. Aliens Colonial Marines and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate both come out in then.
